BINHEX(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to BINHEX(1) πŸ’– this page is all about binhex.pl β€” a script that uses Convert::BinHex to encode files as BinHex. That's the whole vibe. ✨ It's hanging out in the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew, and yes, it's here to help you understand the BinHex situation. πŸŽ€


πŸŽ€ USAGE πŸŽ€

Here's the whole move, literally:

binhex.pl [options] file ... file

And the options? Buckle up, there are two, and they're giving useful:

  • -o dir β€” output into the directory you name. If you don't pass it, the default is to output in the file's own directory. 🫢
  • -v β€” verbose output. Normally you just get one line per file, but this turns the volume up. πŸ”₯

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Each file gets converted to file.hqx. That's the whole glow-up: file in, .hqx out. πŸ’…

πŸ¦‹ WARNINGS πŸ¦‹

bestie, real talk: largely untested 😭. The manual page says it, so I'm saying it. Keep that in mind before you send it off to do anything iconic.

πŸ‘‘ AUTHOR πŸ‘‘

This one's by Paul J. Schinder (NASA/GSFC) β€” mostly πŸ’–. Though apparently Eryq can't seem to keep his grubby paws off anything... πŸ™ˆ


okay that's the whole page! this little beauty comes from perl v5.42.0, dated 2015-11-16, and it's chillin' in BINHEX(1). bye bestie, slay your encoding journey 🌈✨
